Well, well. Jim Malley is still with us. That's great!!
-
As with others, your cover shot on Kitplanes was what finally launched me i
nto building my Piet. I had built an R/C model in 1976 and always had the d
esign tucked away in the back of my mind but when I saw that cover and read
the story I was convinced that I could do it, too.
-
A couple of letters to you and my first trip to Brodhead really lit the fir
e and a bag-o-spruce & T-88 from A.S.&S. got me going. I believe that was a
lmost 15 yrs. ago.
-
So, thanks, Jim. You probably won't ever know how many others your picture
inspired. Just wanted to let you know.......

If Mike Perez can call his airplane a "Perezenpol"=2C could Jim Inter call

Since the references to The Great Waldo Pepper are starting to pop up in
the List messages with increasing frequency, we must be getting closer
to our favorite weekend of the whole year (the Brodhead Pietenpol
Gathering). In fact, it's only ten weeks away.
Even closer on the calendar (only five weeks away) is "Brodhead of the
North" - the Pietenpol Picnic in Brussels, Ontario (Canada). I found the
following posting on the web, so it should be okay to share with the
rest of the world. This year is the 20th annual Piet picnic, and when I
spoke with the host Jim Armstrong last year, he indicated that this
would likely be the last one to be held at their rural airstrip. There's
a LOT of work to prepare for an event like this, so after 20 consecutive
years, it would be hard to argue that they don't deserve a break.
Hopefully an alternate venue will be found to continue the tradition.
The Brussels gathering is a relaxed, friendly old-time fly-in - sure to
please. No better way to spend the Saturday before Father's Day.
Brussels is about a two and a half hour drive from Toronto, or about
three and a half hours from Detroit or Buffalo.
June 20th, Brussels, ON: The 20th annual Pietenpol Picnic. The last one
at this idyllic setting. For lovers of Pietenpols, antique, classic and
homebuilt aircraft. Located on the airstrip of Jim Armstrong on the
north-east corner of Brussels. 10.00 a.m. to dusk. There will be a
Fireman's Breakfast on Sunday morning. For more information please
contact Brian Kenney at 905-336-5190 or Jim Armstrong at 519 887-6753.
Rain date June 21st.

Jack P,
I have searched the archives and cannot find the info about the rod end
bearing that you used on your strut ends. I thought you had the part number
or the specs posted at one time, but cannot find the thread.
McM C has a lot of options to chose from and would like to hit it right the
first time. Thanks for your help,

Nice airplane in the "mile high" picture you posted. I notice that there d
oesn't appear to be anything connected to the horns of the tailwheel. Do y
ou let it caster freely and just steer with rudder and brakes?
I also don't think I've ever seen that way of attaching the lower ends of t
he cabane outside X-bracing using flat plates turned diamond-wise. Clever.

Nope, that's a different Yoakam. We're probably related somewhere along

The rear wheel casters freely but I am thinking of connecting cables up to
the rudder peddles for more posotive control.I do use rudder and brakes rig
ht now and it does work.The-attachment of the lower end of the cabines ou
tside-the- X bracing using flat plates turned diamond wise was not my i
dea.That was the original builder who was George Uranick of Perth Ontario a
n OPP officer who started this aircraft in 1977.He has since past away and
the aircraft was sold to Bob Grayham of Manotick who took the plane to almo
st it's full completion before selling it to me in 2005.She was-completed
- in 2006 after installing engine-brows and plates,step,seat belts,star
ter motor reinstalled,wing support cables,brakes,new altimeter,flop door wi
th latches,CHT gauge and oil temp gauge.As well as stater button and master
switch.Those mens names are-Tom Bennet and Bob Moorhead who helped me do
the work.-The men who did the work before me and helped me finish are
experts in every way.I thank the good Lord that I was along for the ride.I

Subject: | Re: Mile High Club |
One day I was driving chase truck for a friend who took his wife flying in
their old somewhat porous balloon. It was one of those perfect days with
zero wind when you wanted to go for altitude. I noticed every time I looked
up they were at a different altitude give or take a thousand feet.
Later at breakfast he pronounced that attaining Mile High Club status in a
balloon was not possible; he could only keep one thing up at a time =)

Speaking of flying without clothes on, I challenge anybody, no matter how
inclined or motivated they might be, to attempt to join the Mile High Club
in an Air Camper. Or an Aircamper. Or a Perezenpol. Just think of the
logistics... although those who live at the higher elevations may have an
easier job of positioning the aircraft for success.
And to those who are unfamiliar with the rules of the club, to become a
member one must frolic with a member of the opposite sex, in an airplane that
is flying at least 5,280' MSL. The frolicking must be intentional and
successful... although I don't care to know how such success is to be judged,
or by whom.
I am not a member of this club nor am I willing to invite my wife to help
me qualify for membership. I also fly fully clothed, as the climate
dictates.

Subject: | thank you Jim Malley ! |
I gotta second what Mike Cuy said. Jim, yours was the subject article that convinced
me that the Piet was for me. I still have the worn out Kitplanes in my
builders log. I'll build another sometime, hopefully soon. A trip down memory
lane!

Great post Jim and GREAT that you're on the list and we got the info straight from
you on your
engine, performance, and flights. I'm glad to hear that you still have your airplane

have it flying again sometime, even if not in Wisconsin this summer--just glad
to hear you're out there,
you're listening, and you'll be flying again someday !

Subject: | Re: Piet mods- How much is too much? |
That settles it. Whenever I get mine done (many years from now) I'm going to
do all the FAA paperwork stating the make/model as a "Real Original
To-The-Plans Ford A Pietenpol Air Camper", no matter how many mods and
changes I make and despite the fact it'll have a Corvair. That oughta really
get the purists spun up!

No, but I know people who can. Wm. Shakespeare, for one:
"What s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell
as sweet."
I think I'm going to fly 41CC in the EAA 35 poker run tomorrow. My "Claude
M Corbett C1 Pietenpol". Which nobody ever calls it. Which doesn't change
a thing about the airplane.
If Mike Perez can call his airplane a "Perezenpol", could Jim Inter call his
an "Interpol"? ;o) Well, I guess that's enough for a Friday.

Subject: | Gary Boothe T-craft |
Gary,
I accidentally deleted your email so this is going to the whole group. I
looked up your old Taylorcraft N95239 and found out it is on my field
here in Sonoma, disassembled and in a guy's hangar. I think you could
probably get this one back if you wanted to. We're having the
Taylorcraft fly-in here this weekend, so I'll be at the field. I've got
half interest in a flying BC-12D here.
Small world, isn't it.
Darrel
PS. I didn't hear anything back about having a West coast Pietenpol
gathering here, but the offer's still good. Clubhouse, bathrooms and
showers and a kitchen, plus a big screen TV.
